Hi Sylvia,

This poem came about as the result of an incident witnessed by Maria when she was returning from work on Monday on the train. Apparently all around her were men comfortably seated while a very pregnant lady was 'strap hang'. It was bad enough that Maria felt compelled to vacate her seat, but when she did so a young man in his 20s nipped in front of the lady and took the seat! Now that would not have happened in my day!! Call me old-fashioned!

Anyway, thanks for your marvellous and erudite observations, as usual. At my age, I should know better than to rant. Had I been on the train, I would have burst a blood vessel!!

Best wishes,

Paul
